and then you were like "if you want to talk with me more about this I hang out in the Unix chatroom and some other SE sites" oh man why can I remember this but not the interesting thing you were talking about. :(

I would like to know the commonly used name of this game, Monster Bopper. It says:
Monster Bopper is a new twist on a classic puzzle game.
I would like to know the name of this 'classic puzzle game'.
Simply speaking, it is played on a grid, on which certain fields are 'on' and all others a...

I have some old games like Diablo and fear the loss of data (after 10 years).
How do I create an ISO-file of the CDs? How do I check for and bypass copy protections?
I don't want to get an "online image" or any crack, because my country is very strict in such things. To copy a CD for your own i...

My friends and I want to set up server for 5-10 players. So I was wondering: what configuration would I need to set up a minecraft server to run VPS by XEN and what configuration would I need for OpenVZ?
OpenVZ is cheaper than XEN, but it has more memory usage, so I'm afraid of losing money on ...

I remember reading at GetSatisfaction and also somewhere else that biomes are not saved together with the chunks, but instead are calculated on-the-fly based on some random generator.
Is this true? Are biomes saved together with the map data? Or are they always generated from a seed?

Can anyone tell me where can I find the game called Dreams. I used to play it on a 8 bit Sega in the nineties.
I think you were in a dream and all was blue-ish, something like that. The gameplay was kind of slow. I would really want to find it, at least a photo if not more.
I would eventually w...

Just because Arda doesn't want to make a terrible mod now doesn't mean he won't in the future!

This room was placed in timeout for 15 seconds; the topic of this room is "of Gaming's StackExchange™ AlienOverlord AskQuestion™ mothership, wherein our resident angry mob are going to make a terrible charge for our lazers Grace Note will fire in the nyarragabaldic attempt to reject Grace Note and replace him with our own choice of moderators in the undergoing, new StackExchange™ PeopleEmpowering Elections-O-Matic testing initiative." - conversation should be limited to that topic.

"Bastion is an action role-playing experience that redefines storytelling in games, with a reactive narrator who marks your every move." <-Hm, you have a point. If it's obnoxious as the Crackdown 2 narrator, I'd go nuts.

If you want to be a standard watch things and handle things mod, then you need only make sure to check in every now and then to address flags, as well as look for anything that hasn't yet been flagged but could use doing.

That's really all the minimum you need to do. You'll put in more time by doing things like organizing Meta discussions or policy changes or raids, and the like.

@CruelCow I see you have the right to edit; I think it's best to get an idea by experincing it. You could simply go and edit questions and answers to improve them, visting the /review tab (perhaps put the range wider) to find more that needs your attention. Be sure to check out meta on a regular basis too. Now imagine mods also handling the /tools section (which contains summaries) and flags by users (which require 1 or more actions on a question and/or it's answers). That quite sums it up...

As @GraceNote mentioned, mods don't necessarily do all these things together on a regular basis. That's one of the many reasons there are multiple mods...

@TomWijsman I mean, I understand that you can put in infinite time as mod. But like you said, most of that can be done by any user. The mod-specific work is mostly stuff you don't get to see as average user, for example there could be dozens of spam posts every day and I just miss them because they get deleted so fast.

@CruelCow True, moderators are there as a human exception handler. You should check out A Theory of Moderation for more information. Although, back over at Super User I see some moderators that do the regular user things too...

In other words - don't think of it as an active, "Ima watch this site for six hours today". Just keep checking in.

Blasting in all guns ablazing and throwing out revisions left and right is one approach, but it's far better to just work on things over the cycle and rhythm of the site. The site isn't going to adhere to your schedule.

@CruelCow Once you get to 10k you can actually see these deleted posts with a red background at the bottom of the page, the amount of spam on a day is really reasonable/manageable as far as I know from Super User.

@GraceNote True, but sometimes some of those revisions are necessary. I think it's a good thing that moderators approach the site in a different way; it also depends a lot on how their life goes, some rather like to be active for X minutes/hours while other rather like to multi task and check back at certain intervals...

I have a lvl 40 human shadowstep rogue. For a long time i've been wondering is he does good damage. In the quests that i do (appropriate to my lvl) i have no problem at all defeating my enemies. In dueling agains 5 lvl higher people isn't a problem either 'cause shadowstep and ambush takes them o...

I vaguely remember a game that I used to play in the 90's, on the PC. I'm fairly certain you played as an egg, or egg-shaped creature. It was a side-scrolling platform game.
The game had ready-built levels, but there was a level creator which let you build your own extensive levels from scratch...
